MAGPIE'S MUMBLINGS

A blog about my interests, which include fabric landscapes and various and assorted other artsy pursuits and sometimes known to contain mumblings of a random nature.

almost, but not quite

 I'm almost finished the landscape but still have to add the finishing touches so for now I'll show you another little glimpse....


- THIS looks like a fun fall project.

- I know THIS is a paid pattern, but it made me laugh anyway.  And THESE made me smile too.

-I really should make THIS for our #1 son who is a chef.

Today's quote is by Daniel Gottlieb...."I hope you will remember what your soul needs.  Not wealth, prestige, and possessions, but the adult responsibility to love someone every day a little more than you did the day before"  (from the book 'Letters To Sam')

    I used to hear Dan Gottliebs public radio program locally. It was a psychological advice premise.

      That fits with what the book is about. It was a good read, for sure.

      I had those little lights leftover from when I did a lot of crazy quilting so it was nice to use them up.

    well - i wonder if those geese could be made with Canada goose colors?!? think he'll try to change their name, too?!?

    by the way, anyone who is not a moron knows that it's LAKE ONTARIO and that he and his ilk are effing idiots. so humiliating...

      We won't mention the meme that's going around with his hair on a Canada goose. And yes, it's Lake Ontario and it always will be. One more reason for Canadians to hate that man.

      I was glad I unearthed them in my stash and that I had enough.

    Your Christmas landscape is beautiful. I really love it. I looked at your crochet links! All so good but alas, my attempts at origami are laughable!

      Thank you! I agree - origami and I don't get along either.

    Oh my goodness... I love the puffy trees. And the stitched wood grain on the barn. Wonderful, Mary Anne!

      I was going to quilt the trees and then decided I liked them somewhat puffy....glad you could see that.

Thank you so much for leaving comments! I appreciate you taking the time out of your busy life to talk to me. It's wonderful to know that someone is actually reading my mumblings and even more fun if I can connect with you and visit your blog.
